I heard you got the news today
Heard you got the news today
Seems nothin' ever goes your way, oh no
Yesterday was a, okay
Now today you're feelin' like you're lost
Oh
And he say, she say (she say)
She's too young, there's no way (there's no way)
Not on her own (she can never make it on her own)
But who cares what they say
Cause no one can judge you at all
Its not about who's right or who's wrong

[Chorus]
Babygirl take it one day at a time
You can't just grow up overnight
Babygirl I know you're feelin' butterflies
But everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

Everybody seems to notice you
Cause you're not really tryin' to hide a thing
Sometimes you're cool
Sometimes your mood swings
No baggy shirts to hide the change, no shame
Nobody to lie to, to pry with what's inside of you
And he say, she say
She's too grown
Poor thing, all on her own
But who cares what they say
Cause no one can judge you at all
It's not who's right or who's wrong
Girl you're not alone

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x2]
So when you're feelin' like life's too cold
Don't lose faith, just move on
Hold on baby it's worth the flight
And everything's gonna be alright

[Chorus: x2]

This song is dedicated to all the single parents
All you young girls strugglin', all on your own
You're courageous and you're beautiful
And this song is for you

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
